Hi,
IE7 Beta 1:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>...</TITLE><SECTION></HEAD>
<BODY>...</SECTION>
<DIV>...</DIV></BODY></HTML>
(That's very wierd, IE just loves producing broken DOMs! :-/ I assume IE6
will produce a similar result, though I don't have it available to test)
I think that IE treats <section> as one empty element, and </section> as
another empty element, so the DOM tree looks like:
HTML
- HEAD
- - TITLE
- - SECTION
- BODY
- - #text
- - /SECTION
- - DIV
- - - #text
Based on the results of:
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("SECTION")[0].nodeValue);
javascript:alert(document.getElementsByTagName("/SECTION")[0].nodeType);
(nodeType is interesting, because IE will grab nodes that are not
ELEMENT_NODEs with getElementsByTagName, such as the doctype declaration
which according to IE has a tagName of "!" and nodeType of 8...)

Simon Pieters
